Tackwood Attends Industry Show and Takes Part in Castrol Panel Talk

The Tackwood team recently attended one of the UK’s leading automotive industry shows, giving us the chance to learn, connect, and explore the latest developments within the motor trade.

The event was a brilliant opportunity to see new technology, discover the latest tools and equipment, and learn more about the training and systems that will help independent garages continue to move forward. As the industry changes quickly, events like this are a great way for us to stay informed and make sure we are always looking at ways to improve what we do for our customers.

A proud moment for Tackwood was seeing Dominic take part in a panel talk with Castrol, where he spoke about the importance of using the right oils and lubricants in modern vehicles. With engines becoming more advanced and oil specifications becoming increasingly important, using the correct oil is not just about servicing — it plays a key role in protecting the vehicle, maintaining performance, and supporting long-term reliability.

We also had the chance to meet and speak with other people from across the industry, building new connections, sharing ideas, and bringing back useful knowledge to the business.

While at the show, we also invested in new tools and equipment that will support the team in the workshop and help us continue to deliver the high standards our customers expect from Tackwood.

Overall, it was a valuable few days of learning, networking, and looking ahead to the future of the industry.
